I build contemporary furniture and home furnishings from primarily reclaimed locally sourced woods.
Originally educated and licensed as an architect, I left the profession for a career in technology. But over the years I continued to design and build works. With no room left in the house for new pieces, friends encouraged me to hang a single.
I build modern pieces that unmistakably hand made and highly crafted. If Design Within Reach had a baby that made furniture out of their garage, that would be me.
I prefer reclaimed woods. Thick and tight-grained, salvaged woods can be beautiful in their own right, not simply due to their age or weathering. Successful pieces retain the rescued material's personality yet remain expressly modern.
But I am not religious about material sources. Almost every space needs a painted piece or two.
In addition to the pieces available in the collection, I welcome (prefer) requests for custom pieces.
